         Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
         If an untracked directory is managed by a different Git
         repository, it is not removed by default.  Use -f option twice

         In addition to those found in .gitignore (per directory) and
         $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, also consider these patterns to be in the
         set of the ignore rules in effect.

 <p>
         Don&#8217;t use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per
         directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore
         rules given with <code>-e</code> options.  This allows removing all untracked
         files, including build products.  This can be used (possibly in
         conjunction with <em>git reset</em>) to create a pristine
         working directory to test a clean build.

         Remove only files ignored by Git.  This may be useful to rebuild

 <p>
    This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
    "Input ignore patterns&gt;&gt;" prompt. You can input space-separated
    patterns to exclude files and directories from deletion.
    E.g. "*.c *.h" will excludes files end with ".c" and ".h" from
    deletion. When you are satisfied with the filtered result, press
    ENTER (empty) back to the main menu.

 <dt class="hdlist1">

 <dd>
 <p>
    This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
    "Select items to delete&gt;&gt;" prompt. When the prompt ends with double
    <em>&gt;&gt;</em> like this, you can make more than one selection, concatenated
    with whitespace or comma.  Also you can say ranges.  E.g. "2-5 7,9"
    to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list.  If the second number in a
    range is omitted, all remaining items are selected.  E.g. "7-" to
    choose 7,8,9 from the list.  You can say <em>*</em> to choose everything.
    Also when you are satisfied with the filtered result, press ENTER
    (empty) back to the main menu.
 </p>

	<p>
	Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
	If an untracked directory is managed by a different Git
	repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice
	if you really want to remove such a directory.

	<dd>
	<p>
	If the Git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set
	to false, <em>git clean</em> will refuse to delete files or directories
	unless given -f, -n or -i. Git will refuse to delete directories
	with .git sub directory or file unless a second -f
	is given.

	<dt class="hdlist1">

	<dt class="hdlist1">

	<p>
	In addition to those found in .gitignore (per directory) and
	$GIT_DIR/info/exclude, also consider these patterns to be in the
	set of the ignore rules in effect.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">

	<dd>
	<p>
	Don’t use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per
	directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore
	rules given with <code>-e</code> options. This allows removing all untracked
	files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
	conjunction with <em>git reset</em>) to create a pristine
	working directory to test a clean build.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	-X
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Remove only files ignored by Git. This may be useful to rebuild
	everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.

	<div class="paragraph"><p>The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and

	<dt class="hdlist1">
	filter by pattern
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
	"Input ignore patterns>>" prompt. You can input space-separated
	patterns to exclude files and directories from deletion.
	E.g. ".c .h" will excludes files end with ".c" and ".h" from
	deletion. When you are satisfied with the filtered result, press
	ENTER (empty) back to the main menu.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	select by numbers
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
	"Select items to delete>>" prompt. When the prompt ends with double
	<em>>></em> like this, you can make more than one selection, concatenated
	with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9"
	to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. If the second number in a
	range is omitted, all remaining items are selected. E.g. "7-" to
	choose 7,8,9 from the list. You can say <em>*</em> to choose everything.
	Also when you are satisfied with the filtered result, press ENTER
	(empty) back to the main menu.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	ask each
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This will start to clean, and you must confirm one by one in order
	to delete items. Please note that this action is not as efficient
	as the above two actions.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt class="hdlist1">
	quit

	<dd>

	This lets you quit without do cleaning.
